What we make for hotels and restaurants

Visualisation: Hotel key tags
Visualisation – every piece is made to order.
01

Hotel key tags

Room key tags with the room number and your logo, 3D-printed in a stone, wood or metal look. Optional NFC chip: one tap opens hotel info, Wi-Fi or room service.

Visualisation: Table numbers & table stands for restaurants
Visualisation – every piece is made to order.
02

Table numbers & table stands for restaurants

Table numbers and stands that belong on the table, with number and logo. Optional NFC chip for the menu, wine list or Google reviews.

Visualisation: Hotel room numbers & door signs
Visualisation – every piece is made to order.
03

Hotel room numbers & door signs

Room numbers and door signs designed to match your hotel. Optional NFC chip for guest information.

NFC stands for Google reviews

An object on the table or bar that leads straight to your Google review page. Designed like the rest of your space, not picked from a catalogue. Also available as a set: a stand for the bar plus NFC plaques for every table.

Why an object, not a sticker

01

More elegant than a QR code on paper

A piece that belongs to the place setting, not a sticker that peels and stains. It wipes down like the rest of the table and lasts the season.

02

Works with any smartphone, no app

iPhone XR and newer read the chip when the top edge touches it. Android phones with NFC read it directly. Your guest installs nothing and opens no camera.

03

Change the link whenever you like

The chips are rewritable. Seasonal menu, dish of the day, a different destination entirely — none of it means making a new piece.

04

Designed to match your brand

Shape, colour, finish and logo are decided with you. The piece is designed for your room; it isn't picked from a catalogue.

What it's used for

The same object can carry a different link on every table, in every room, at every bar.

Menu

Your current digital menu, in the guest's own language.

Wine list

The full cellar with tasting notes and vintages, without fattening the printed menu.

Google reviews

A direct link to the review, offered with the coffee while the evening is still fresh.

Wi-Fi

One tap joins the guest network. Nobody dictates a password again.

Room and hotel services

Opening times, spa, room service, excursions — the hotel's information within reach.

Events, bookings, social

Reservations, the events calendar, or the venue's Instagram.

Materials and making

Every piece is 3D-printed to measure in the workshop in El Médano and finished by hand. The chip sits inside the piece, not taped to its back.

01

Stone and volcanic-stone finish

Mineral-filled filament: the piece looks and feels like stone, right down to the porous texture of volcanic rock. For example, a stone on the table with your logo and the chip hidden inside.

02

Metal look, with real rust

Filament with iron powder: the piece looks like metal and, if you like, is genuinely rusted for a weathered look. Then it is sealed, so nothing rubs off.

03

Wood finish

Wood-fibre filament: the colour, grain and feel of wood, printed to measure in whatever shape you need.

04

Plaques for a recess in a table, bowl or counter

Printed to fit a recess in something you already own, such as a wooden bowl or the table top. The recess is already there or your carpenter cuts it; we supply the plaque with the chip.

Logo raised or recessed, printed into the piece and hand-painted; colours always bespoke. Prices are net: under the Canarian REPEP scheme we charge neither IGIC nor EU VAT.

How it works

From your first message to dispatch, usually four to six weeks, plus shipping time.

  1. Tell us the idea

    What object you picture, how many pieces, and your logo. A photo of the table says more than a long description.

  2. Design proposal

    You get a proposal — shape, material, finish — drawn for your room.

  3. A sample to test

    We make one real piece so you can hold it and try it on your own table. Its cost comes off the order.

  4. Approval

    Nothing goes into production until you have signed off the sample and the final design.

  5. Production

    The run is made and hand-finished, piece by piece.

  6. Handover or shipping

    On Tenerife we bring it to you in person, with the chips programmed and tested. Anywhere else, we ship it from El Médano with the chips already programmed.

The technology, honestly

Worth knowing before you order, not after.

Printed plastic lets the signal through

Stone or wood finish included: the chip sits invisibly inside the piece and the phone still reads it.

Solid metal blocks the signal

That's physics, not a manufacturing fault. For metal there are on-metal chips with a ferrite backing, or we place the chip elsewhere in the piece. Iron-filled filament can weaken the signal too, so the sample decides how deep the chip sits.

Every material is tested first

If a material is new to us, we test it with the chip before accepting the order. We would rather say no than deliver something that fails at the table.

Frequently asked questions

Does the guest need an app?

No. The NFC reader is built into the phone's operating system. They hold the phone close, the link appears, and nothing is installed.

Does it work with iPhone and Android?

Yes. iPhone XR and newer read the chip when the top edge of the screen touches it. iPhone 7 to X need the NFC reader switched on from the control centre first. Android phones with NFC — the large majority — read it directly.

Can I change the link later?

Yes. The chips are rewritable, so the destination can change as often as you like without touching the piece. We show you how to do it from your own phone, or we do it for you.

What is the minimum quantity?

None. In hospitality we also make single pieces: one object for the reception desk is as much a commission as four hundred for the tables. Quantity does not decide whether we make it, it decides the price per piece — the more there are, the lower it gets, because design and setup are shared across the run. And before any run there is always the single sample, so you can decide with the piece in your hand.

What does it cost?

Most hospitality projects land between €400 and €2,500. Where yours falls depends on quantity, material, and whether we start from scratch or build the chip into a piece you already own. There is no list price because there is no list piece: we cost your project and you get a fixed quote before anything is made.

How long does production take?

A full run usually takes four to six weeks from your first message to dispatch: design round, sample, production and hand-finishing. A single sample leaves the workshop within five to seven working days.

Do you ship outside Tenerife?

Yes, worldwide, with Correos from El Médano. Within the EU it usually takes 5–7 working days once shipped; outside the EU it depends on the country. On Tenerife we also hand it over in person, with the chips programmed and tested.

Will there be customs or import VAT?

The Canary Islands belong to the EU customs union but not to the EU VAT area, so a delivery to the EU mainland counts as an import. The carrier collects import VAT (19 % in Germany, 21 % in mainland Spain) plus a small handling fee from you on delivery — not here, and not from us. With a valid VAT-ID you reclaim that import VAT as input tax. Within the Canary Islands none of this applies. Outside the EU, the destination country's import rules apply; we point them out in the quote.

Can the object look like stone or metal?

Yes, both are printed: mineral-filled filament looks like stone, right down to volcanic rock, and iron-filled filament looks like metal, genuinely rusted and sealed if you like. Iron can weaken the signal, so we test every material with the chip before accepting the commission. For real solid metal there are on-metal chips with a ferrite backing.
